BLOODSTOCK HQ is currently
a hive of activity, with even more bands being confirmed for this August’s best
heavy metal weekender.

Joining the Ronnie James Dio stage are the recently reformed industrial
outfit, MISERY LOVES COMPANY. The band inform us, “The UK was
always special to MISERY LOVES CO, our very first show outside of
Scandinavia was in London and without the support of the British people we
probably would have stayed in Scandinavia for ever, listening to ABBA, eating
herring and dreaming of the outside world… MISERY LOVES CO +
Britain = a true love story. Now, when we return to the stage, we’re
extremely happy to showcase our industrial demons in front of the British crowd
once more. Doing a summer of festivals without coming to the UK would
have been a failure, so, we can’t wait to come to BLOODSTOCK!”

Opening the RJD stage on Saturday are Brit tech metallers, CAMBION.
As proud BLOODSTOCK alumni (2012/2014), the band are currently
at work on their debut album, having released the Virus Extended Edition EP in
2014. Check out the video for ‘Heterodox’ here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpeerilbWqU, and keep up with plans for the album

Stepping into the Friday night headline slot on the Sophie Lancaster
stage are NWOBHM icons, DIAMOND HEAD. The likes of Metallica
have often stated that without DIAMOND HEAD, they’d probably not
exist, such is the Stourbridge band’s influence. Check out this fan-filmed
clip of the ‘Big 4’ (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax & Megadeth) covering DIAMOND
HEAD’s classic ‘Am I Evil’, joined by the band’s very own Brian Tatler - https://youtu.be/K9P-H_Qd908. Brian and his cohorts are set
to release their first album of new material in over 8 years on 22nd April,
simply titled ‘Diamond Head’. Don’t miss ‘em at BLOODSTOCK!
